There is no reason to use concrete on the boulevard as "preparation"...the concrete there cannot be used to put tracks on, it will have to be torn up to place the tracks. It would have been cheaper, easier, and more environmentally friendly to put grass for the 10, 20, 30 years it'll take to build the LRT.
Native grasses or plants I would agreed with, but if it's sod it will look real bad real quick unless someone is frequently maintaining it. There's not many places in the region where they have done green median well and maintained it well. Most tree lawn areas maintained by the city or region also look real bad.
